Stephanie Cutter: Power List 2010

Stephanie Cutter is no stranger to Washington or the Obama administration. Last year, she took on the task of helping to usher the President's last Supreme Court selection, Sonia Sotomayor, through the confirmation process. Now, she faces the challenge of helping the White House communicate what could be the hallmark of the Obama administration: the new healthcare legislation.

Prior to serving in the administration, Cutter was the chief spokesperson for the Obama-Biden transition, as well as Michelle Obama's chief of staff during the presidential campaign.

With the reputation of Obama's presidency and administration on the line, Cutter holds enormous power.
